Saw it a few places. It's first on deal2buy and I just bit the bullet and got it.

update:

WOw, this one is going to be a disaster for me!

1) I got local pickup for the projecot and UPS for the mount
2) store incorrectly reported that it was OOS on the projector, but was able to sell it to me anyway with a local (2nd) charging on my credit card. Told me the online order would automatically adjust and all would be well.
3) online store is refusing to cancel the mount order even though I canceled the projector order and is demanding that I pay full price + shipping now
4) chargeback and delivery refusal time

couldn't tell you. I'll tell you how it works with my N64 tonight though

It's been my experience that ANY projector is better than a regular TV....
